If I remote desktop to an xp machine on my network, there is Start->Disconnect when I want to terminate the session. However, when I connect to a windows 2003 server, the disconnect functionality is missing. How do I successfully disconnect from a 2003 server without keeping the session active? At the moment, I simply click that little “x” at the top of the screen which is not what I want to do. Thanks.

why does my text disappear whilst typing when i mistakenly press some keys that may include caps lock -shift arrow-ctrl Alt – I can never retrieve this when it happens even though it is a saved file -it is so frustraing as yesterday i lost an 18 page typed document by pressing some – which are the keys when fast typing makes everything delete – and not recoverable

The first time I had to log onto a Windows server I finished work and did Start / Shut Down (in the Remote Desktop window), packed up and went home. The next day I had some explaining to do. Well, I didn’t know …

Hey – thanks very much for this – helped get me unstuck – am running VMWare in a Terminal Services session, so the Ctrl-Alt-End worked okay and prompted the inner session to advise to use Ctrl-Alt-Insert if in a session within a session.

Thanks. This helped so much. I was in a web server of mine, and (accidently) shutdown the explorer.exe process. I had no access to the start menu or my the desktop. Once I did this (pressed crtl+alt+end), I was able to relaunch explorer.exe through the process manager.
